BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Authorities have arrested an 18-year-old Baton Rouge man after investigators said he tried to kill his girlfriend’s unborn child.
Deputies said Thursday that 18-year-old Darrell Johnson was booked with attempted second-degree feticide and domestic abuse battery charges.
WBRZ-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1hXCM9F ) Johnson and his girlfriend, who was seven months pregnant, got into an argument Feb. 20. Deputies say he slapped her, knocked her to the ground and started choking her. They say he also kicked her in the stomach at least once while she was on the ground, and as he left told her “I never wanted that baby anyway.”
The sheriff’s office said doctors ran tests, but weren’t aware of any damage to the unborn child.
